+How to report bugs
+==================
+
+To report a bug, send mail either to gtk-list, as mentioned
+above, or to gtk-bugs@gtk.org. If you send mail to gtk-list, you
+must be subscribed yourself.
+
+In the mail include:
+
+* The version of GLib
+
+* Information about your system. For instance:
+
+ - What operating system and version
+ - What version of X
+ - For Linux, what version of the C library
+
+ And anything else you think is relevant.
+
+* How to reproduce the bug.
+
+ If you can reproduce it with the testglib program that is built
+ in the glib/ directory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise,
+ please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior.
+ As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece
+ of software that can be downloaded.
+
+* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out
+ when the crash occured.
+
+* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but
+ is not necessary.
+
+Patches
+=======
+
+Patches can be uploaded to the incoming/ directory on
+ftp.gtk.org. Please follow the instructions there, and include
+your name and email address in the README file.
+
+If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include
+all the information described in "How to Report Bugs".
